Abstract:

One interesting class of models involves dark matter as the lightest state of a strongly interacting hidden sector, similar to the pions of QCD. In this talk, I will examine the possibility that the lightest vector resonances of the hidden sector are nearby in mass and accessible within the current operating energy of fixed-target experiments. These states significantly modify processes in the early universe and give rise to striking signals at low-energy accelerators, involving missing energy and displaced pairs of leptons.
